Honolulu Star-Bulletin Saturday, Jan. 15, 1966 le Action on Is fie sal fraf a overdue long even In an initial Larson visited a former fellow detective. Governor John A. Riirn PrJHav fhpn 1 1V By MARY ADAMSKI 'Very, very strong and positive action to solve the traffic situation here is long overdue," was the first reaction of George Larson, who had made traffic sud-ies for cities and counties of every state. Larson may be known nationally as an expert in the field of traffic safety and administration, but he is better known in Hawaii as a pio neer in the police departments of three counties here.

He returned Thursday for a week of visits to the Honolulu, Maui and Hawaii police forces. Larson left the Honolulu Department as captain of detectives in 1939 when he took the position of first chief of the Maui Police Department. In 1943 he was chosen as the first Chief of Police on the Big Island as Also on his record of firsts, Larson was the first traffic accident investigator appointed on the Honolulu force and also the first officer to qualify in administering lie detector tests here. Larson left Hawaii in 1948 to join the Traffic Institute of Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois. He spent 11 years as instructor and researcher with the institute, which not only get specific in his criticism of Honolulu traffic problems for publication, Larson said "I'm available" to a reporter's suggestion that city and state officials could use his expert advice.

Larson gave the Honolulu police officers a pat on the back for "their advanced state of competency in carrying an investigation through." "The Honolulu force is superiorand was in the 1930s to most cities this size in the police skills of which even the patrolmen are capable," Larson said. "While Honolulu officers are all considered capable and trained to investigate traffic accidents and criminal cases, most cities would have to call for a specialist If traffic warranted, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans and Miami might be added to the list. Eastern asked last July for permission to fly between Mexico city and the South Pacific. Rusk in Vietnam EAL makes new Asian route bid NEW YORK, Jan. 15 (AP) Eastern Airlines has filed an application with the Civil Aeronautics Board for permission to fly between Seattle, Hawaii and Southeast Asia.

So, to atone for his wrongs, Moeller shot himself in the left chest after he had sniped at three cars in Germany, while stationed there with the Air Force. Schnack said this also is why he shot his own motorcycle at Kaena Point and the motorcycle at the Pali.

Moeller thought of shooting himself at the Pali but remembered the pain he suffered after doing so in Germany, Schnack said. Schnack said Mrs. Moeller told him about a "schizophrenic episode of rather bi-z a nature" involving Moeller when he was 16 or 17. Deputy Prosecutor Richard Ishida objected to Schnack repeating the i i-sode because it would be hearsay, and was sustained by Judge Hawkins. left for a busman's holiday on the Neighbor Islands.

He will visit with his daughter, Mrs. Darrell Klon-inger, of 3809 Sierra Drive, until he returns home to Berkeley, California January 23. Sukarno says 87,000 slain in Indonesia SINGAPORE (UPI) President Sukarno of Indonesia said today 87,000 persons have been killed there since the attempted Communist coup on October 1, Radio Jakarta reported. He said he was prepared to step down "if the state does not like me any more." Sukarno, in a speech to his cabinet at Bogoro Palace, took note of the galloping inflation and the angry mood of students who have demonstrated against the government and said: "If you don't want me any more I am ready to step down. It is not necessary for you to drop me out; I shall go if the state does not like me any more." Then in an apparent reference to the mass student demonstrations against recent price increases he said, "Do not act wildly.

This is my command." He reminded them that he was not only the supreme commander, but also the "great leader" of the revolution, "great leader" of the people. Sukarno challenged his critics to bring down the prices of essential commodi- tiec within fhTPA mnnth TT said that whoever succeeds would be niade a minister, 1 i 1 jjui lie xaus ue wuiuu ue sentenced to five or 10 years jail or even shot to death. Raising his voice, Sukarno said he disapproved "very much" of the students actions against price boosts and their demands for a cabinet reshuffle and dissolution of the Indonesian Communist Party (P.K.I.). He said the estimate of 87,000 victims of the attempted cdup was submitted by a fact-finding commission. It was the first official announcement of the death toll resulting from the coup.

Sukarno admitted that "our situation is really difficult, particularly with our revolution caused by the October 1 movement." He said he could not understand why he had been destine supporter of the (coup). "I ask all our youths to be patient and don't accuse my ministers as fools and also make mischievous accusations about my life he appealed. Sukarno said he was ordering all his ministers to re-examine and study the monetary regulations and make all the necessary recommendations to him.

Vietnam, Soviets pledge jaid to Hanoi MOSCOW (UPI)-The Soviet Union and North Viet-; nam have signed a new pact 'giving "additional aid" to I the Hanoi regime in its fight against the United States, it was announced yesterday. The new Kremlin aid agreement was disclosed in joint communique following a week-long visit to Hanoi by a high-level Soil viet delegation led by Alex-bander Shelepin, a top aide I to Communisty Party chair-man Leonid Brezhnev. The delegation included Soviet strategic rocket force deputy chief Colonel General Vladimir Tolubko and weaponry expert Dmitri Ustinov, leading observers here to assume the "additional laid" will include military as 'well as economic help. More missiles were predicted. I Taken at face value, the communique torpedoed west- era hopes that Shelepin went Hanoi to try to steer President Ho Chi Minh toward peace talks.

I It praised the Communist Vietnamese "firm confidence in the justness of their 'cause and its ultimate vic-tory," attacked 1 American "escalation" of the war and offered Soviet support for Hanoi's pre-conditions for peace. The communique repeated the Soviet contention that Ithe Vietcong are "the lawful representatives of the 'South Vietnamese people." jThis was considered a de-Jmand that the "Vietcong be in 4 any peace talks. The communique did not out the form of the "additional But Soviet speakers in the past have stressed that the Kremlin is sending Hanoi both economic and military help and the new agreement apparently offered more of the same. Security increased in Saigon SAIGON, Vietnam (AP) A contingent of South Vietnamese marines moved into Saigon tonight to "increase security," a reliable informant reported. The troop movement, in-; Evolving the 4th Marine Bat- talion, came in the midst of a flurry of rumors throughout Saigon of a possible power play against Premier- ment.

Some generals reportedly fear a sellout to the Vietcong in the current diplomatic campaign to end the war. Earlier an informant said 30 truckloads of Vietnamese soldiers and four armored personnel carriers had broken through a police checkpoint at Phulam, about 10 miles south of Saigon, and 1 refused to heed orders to stop. The report generated a slight stir in Saigon, for sta- tioned 30 miles south of the Schnack concluded his testimony by admitting it was "complicated," but that it was the "work of a disordered mind, uncontrolled, inappropriate emotional life. "There was no opportunity for him to use rational thought. He was unable because of a schizophrenic disorder to come up with reasonable thinking, because he is incapable of reasonable thinking." Schnack, asked for his prognosis of Moeller's condition, said "the defendant will probably be mentally ill for a long time to come, even if he gets the best treatment." He said there was only one kind of treatment, psychotherapy or custodial, whereby Moeller will be put in a place where he will feel secure and free of the stresses that he cannot handle.

Department to urge the of his good friend William R. of Honolulu as high commissioner of the Trust Territory of the Pacific. After a conference with Undersecretary John A.Carver the Hawaii Democrat said: "The department thinks very highly of Bill Norwood and feels his background, experience and administrative ability can be put to good use in the Trust Territory." Inouye declined to elaborate but did say he got the impression it would be at least a month before there is any action on some pending top level Interior Department appointments, including the Trust Territory high commissionership. If Norwood, administrative director to Governor John A. Burns and a former Honolulu public relations man, gets the Federal post, he would succeed Commissioner M.

W. Goding, who is slated to become governor of American Samoa. In Pago Pago Goding succeed H. Rex Lee, who is expected to be the next Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Administration. The headquarters for the Trust Territory, the former Japanese mandate islands, is on Saipan.

He cited the Kaena Point incident of December, 1964, when Moeller shot at two persons who were looking at his parked motorcycle as he watched them from a nearby hill. Schnack1 said Moeller "was feeling like that motorcycle was part of himself and assuming these, people were hostile and going to hurt the" motorcycle and thus himself." At the same time, the shooting allowed him to release his hostility toward people and the world, and also his mother. However, because he identified himself with his mother, he felt to harm her would mean she would punish him so he had to do something to Red spaceship designer dies MOSCOW (AP)' The man who designed the spaceships for Yuri Gagarin, the first man in Space, and for Alexei Leonov, the first man to walk in Space, died suddenly yesterday at the age of 59. The death of professor Sergei Korolev, a leading designer of Soviet rockets and Space systems, was announced by Tass, the official Soviet news agency. Cause of death was listed as heart failure.

Korolev's precise role in the Space program was not spelled out, but apparently he played a key part in it. Phifer new head of Kiwanis Club The Reverend William E.

Ky said his government planned to create a "Democracy Building Council" after the Lunar New Year which will hold seminars throughout the country on a proposed new constitution. Points raised in the seminars will be incorporated into the document, and it will be put to a referendum next October, he said. Past constitutions have died with a 1 whimper because they came from the top down, he said. The Defense Ministry today confirmed that it would honor a 78-hour truce during the Lunar New Year from noon January 20 to 6 p.m.

January 23. "During these break hours, all measures will be taken for the defense of all units to prevent any surprise attack by the enemy," a communique said. A U.S. spokesman has said that American forces in Vietnam would go along with any decision the Vietnamese made on the truce. The truce was proposed -by the Vietcong earlier this month.

The Communists said they would observe it for four days. Parking ban Continued from Page 1 months, it may be, committee members indicated, that more restrictive bans may have to be put into effect. The present move will give businesses time to find off-street parking facilities. Au told members his personnel tried to take complete traffic counts during the parking ban period. He said, "We did have some trouble getting the traffic counts.

We found the' tubes of our counters were being cut. "It happened every day especially in Waikiki. They didn't seem to want us to get accurate counts," he said. Traffic Engineer William C. Hong told committee members that even without the parking on both sides of Kapiolani Boulevard, there are a number of daytime peaks during which the practical capacity of that street is exceeded.

He said that counts show off-hour peaks at 9 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m., as well as during the normal rush hours. In addition to making the modified parking ban permanent, legislation now before City Council the rush-hour tow zones from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 3 to 6:30 p.m. The new ordinances will also raise the fine for parking in a tow-zone from $1 to $5.

And, continuing their efforts to get traffic moving again in Honolulu, the committee members will call in representatives of the Police Department next Friday to. ask why the parking bans are not being better enforced by the policemen. This action comes at the request of Councilman Eugene F. Kennedy, a former Honolulu police officer. The third and final-reading of the two proposed ordinances on the traffic ban and change in rush hour regulations will come before City Council next Tuesday.

The call letters of KONA-TV, an NBC affiliate, were changed to KHON-TV last July.

Rusk also met with U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge and other American officials. Then Rusk, Harriman and Lodge were Ky's guests at a dinner at the premier's residence. Ky later went to Lodge's residence where Rusk and Harriman are staying, presumably to continue their talks.

At the military congress, Ky hailed peace efforts and had a special word of praise for Pope Paul VI. But he warned against any deals being made without the ap proval of his government. "We have accepted and are grateful for the moral and military and economic assistance from the friendly countries," he said. "But never can we tolerate any interference harmful to our nation's sov-. ereignty or any decision at variance with our people's aspirations." Declaring "we are determined not to be Communist," Ky said his war cabinet has attained some political stability and as this grows, the machinery will be created for "democracy" which he said is the only force that can destroy communism.

He promised that "real democratic elections" will be held in 1967. Housing Continued from Page 1 will permit the development of about 13 lots instead of 17. It took that course after a spirited debate last night and review of testimonies presented at an earlier public hearing. Commissioner Robert Wenkam, a staunch conservationist, was the only one opposing the move to change the designation of the Nu- uanu Valley property into urban classification He pointed out that the developer had violated Land Use Commission laws by putting in a housing develop-, ment in a conservation district. Wenkam said that the commission should exercise -every caution in preserving the State's natural resources.

"We have to consider the broad interests of the community," he said instead of only thinking of the eco-. nomic hardships that might, fall on the developer. The developer had already MsMnt. otnr.m commission got wind of the, violation. Kinji Kanazawa, partner-.

attorney for Nuuanu Ventures, admitted that the developer had committed an. error by carving the 17 lots in the conservation district. However, he pointed out that the City had approved the developer's subdivision plans for the Nuuanu Park Place development. He assured the commission that the developer would properly landscape the area. Kanazawa said that the violation of the conservation district boundary was not intentional, terming it an "unfortunate" mistake.

The commission's staff had recommended that the conservation district boundary lines be adjusted to permit the developer to proceed with the development of about 13 lots. Those opposing the. development included the Nuuanu Valley Community Association, the League of Women Voters and the I.L.W.U. There were no protests at yesterday's hearings on the following: 1 Capital Investment Compan y's petition to change 1,440 acres now in agricultural district to an urban district in Waianae. 2 Honokai Developers' petition to change about 29 acres now in agricultural district into an urban dis- trict in JJonouliuli, Ewa.

Continued from Page 1 a rather withdrawn, unin-volved way of behaving that is typically considered schizoid, a personality pattern." He said Moeller has a peculiar relationship with reality. He may not respond, and may misinterpret reality and see it different from the way it exists. Moeller is "ambivalent in that he wants or has tendencies in both directions at the same time he both loves and hates a person at the same time." Schnack cited other actions and statements by-Moeller to support his diagnosis that Moeller is a schizophrenic. He said Moeller "was una-: ware of any feelings" at the time he shot at the buses and police at the Pali. "He told me that this (shooting of police) occurred after he decided to give himself up." (In a subsequent interview, Moeller told Schnack he came down the hill be-, cause he was tired.) "He was coming down the hillside to give himself up and came on a rise when suddenly he saw' the police and just as suddenly opened fire until he emptied his gun," Schnack said.

Moeller also told Schnack he was "really shooting at the police motorcycle" standing next to Kaanana and two other officers. Schnack said Moeller "volunteered he did not think sniping had become a habit although he still could not explain two prior sniping incidents." Defense attorney James King asked Schnack what led to the Pali sniping. Schnack said Moeller was depressed because of financial difficulties, and personal problems. A person who had borrowed his motorcycle failed to return it. Schnack said he had this, hypothesis: Moeller "has never developed into a normal person.

He has never been able to establish a clear difference from himself and his moth-er. "He does not know where he ends and others begin. He has numerous feelings of hostility which he is not aware of. "He is conscious only that the environment is hostile toward him. What he feels he attributes to somebody else." Schnack said motorcycles to Moeller symbolize masculinity, his father, men in general.

On the other hand, Moeller identified his hate for his mother in buses and cars. "I think this is particularly so if the vehicles are occupied, symbolizing the three times his mother was pregnant after he was born," Schnack said. "His thinking is disordered. He can't tell what's true outside of himself and sometimes misinterprets motives. of this difficulty in interpreting motives of Upped insurance coverage asked Star-Bulletin Bureau WASHINGTON A bill providing for a 15 percent increase in life insurance coverage for Federal employees has been introduced by Representative Spark M.
